More than 50% out of 129 Agave species are endemic to Mexico. Among them, peacockii is among the list threatened that require special protection. In this work, we aimed at developing new supplementary strategies achieve micropropagation and perform cryopreservation in vitro grown shoot-tips A. peacockii. For multiplication, addition two cytokinins, 6-benzylaminopurine (26.6 μM) kinetin (27.84 M...

Tissue culture is a potent means for producing clonally propagated plants. However, genetically identical regenerants are of great concern due to their economic consequences. Therefore, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular markers employed detect somaclonal variations. In this study, the genetic fidelity in vitro raised Philodendron bipinnatifidum clones, and mother plant was tested ...

Micropropagation is a tool for large-scale reproduction of planting material viticulture sustainability. Successful micropropagation depends on the continued productivity plantlets during acclimatization phase. Due to high humidity in culture container and free water environment, it causes rapid loss drying with watery stems leaves, poorly developed cuticle, large intercellular space, incomplet...

The Vaccinium genus contains several valuable fruit and ornamental species, among others: highbush blueberry (Vaccinium × corymbosum L.), cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.), and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.). In some most popular and valuable cultivars, the conventional propagation methods, exploiting hard or soft wood cuttings, are inefficient. The demand for nursery plants could ...

An efficient and reproducible procedure was established for direct shoot regeneration of Solanum surattense Bum. using internodal explants. The shoot regeneration efficiency on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6benzylaminopurine (BAP) was superior in compared to 6furfurylaminopurine (Kn). The highest mean number of shoots per explant was recorded on MS medium containing 0.5 mgl...

and inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerdmann and Trappe, Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith or Glomus viscosum Nicolson on shoot apical growth of plantlets that had been micropropagated from MM 106 apple (Malus pumila L.) and Mr.S. 2/5 plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) rootstocks. Unfertilized and non-mycorrhizal plantlets showed no apical gro...

Ratoon sugarcane plantlets in southern China have suffered a serious chlorosis problem in recent years. To reveal the causes of chlorosis, plant nutrition in chlorotic sugarcane plantlets and the role of manganese (Mn) in this condition were investigated. The study results showed that the pH of soils growing chlorotic plantlets ranged from 3.74 to 4.84. The symptoms of chlorosis were similar to...
